58+ Years Operating History
$214,705 Gross Sales
$40,927 SDE (~19% Margin)
$230,000 Equipment Included
136 Days of Operation Annually
Turnkey Operation with Growth Upside

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic frozen custard and grill concept with a multi-decade operating history and deeply rooted customer loyalty. Known for its classic menu of made-to-order food and frozen custard, this business has become a longstanding destination with a consistent stream of repeat customers and strong word-of-mouth presence.

Generating $214,705 in annual revenue and $40,927 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (~19% margin), the business demonstrates efficient operations and solid unit-level economics. Notably, it produces approximately $240 in revenue per operating hour, highlighting strong performance within a deliberately limited schedule.

The current ownership operates just 136 days per year, reflecting a lifestyle choice rather than market limitations. This creates a compelling opportunity for a new owner to immediately increase revenue by expanding operating days and hours without changing the core business model.

The operation is supported by a trained team and a well-maintained equipment package valued at approximately $230,000, enabling a smooth and turnkey transition. The physical setup is optimized for efficient service, including indoor production space and outdoor customer accommodations, along with ample parking to support steady traffic flow.

Despite its long-standing success, the business has done little to no paid advertising, relying instead on its established reputation and loyal following. This presents a clear opportunity for a buyer to introduce modern marketing strategies, social media consistency, and local promotions to further increase visibility and sales.

Additionally, the business is well-positioned to benefit from increased nearby activity and community traffic drivers, providing further upside potential. Combined with opportunities such as catering, expanded hours, and targeted marketing, a new owner has multiple clear paths to scale revenue while maintaining the simplicity of the current operation.

Offered at $295,000, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a proven, recognizable concept with strong fundamentals, consistent demand, and significant room for growth.

Facilities & Assets
The business operates from a compact ~967 sq ft facility designed for efficient, high-volume service, complemented by an outdoor customer seating area and dedicated parking to support steady traffic flow. The layout is optimized for quick-service execution and seasonal demand.

Included in the sale is approximately $230,000 in well-maintained equipment, providing a fully turnkey setup for continued operations. The space and equipment support the current streamlined menu while allowing room for increased output with expanded hours.
Market Outlook / Competition
The business holds a strong competitive position as a well-known frozen custard and grill destination with decades of continuous operation and a deeply loyal customer base. Its long-standing presence and consistent product offering create a level of brand recognition that newer entrants struggle to replicate. With minimal reliance on advertising and sustained repeat traffic, it maintains a stable position within its local market against typical quick-service alternatives.
Opportunities for Growth
Expanding operating days and hours presents an immediate path to increased revenue, as the business currently runs a limited annual schedule. Catering demand already exists but is not actively pursued. Introducing paid advertising and consistent social media activity could drive additional traffic. Increased nearby community activity is expected to further support higher customer volume with extended availability.
